FirstWatt SIT-3 or Pass Labs XA25 for Avalon Indras?
I have both the SIT-3 and the XA-25. The XA-25 is sitting in a box... but it depends on the speaker. I'm using it with my Klipsch speakers. If I owned a set of Harbeth's my hunch is the SIT-3 would be in the box. Unscientifically I'd say the XA 25... 
How Long Should a First Watt SIT3 Last ?
Nelso Pass has always answered every question that I’ve asked…It might not be the same day, but he answers. I think you’ll enjoy a SIT-3 as I have.  
Should we care if a piece of equipment comes from a pet-free, kid-free, smoke-free home?

Help with Cary SLP-98
@yogiboy  I'll get my measuring gauge out and measure the opening.I actually emailed Cary and they gave me a link to an eight pin socket saver that didn't fit.    
Help with Cary SLP-98
Correct, Linlai has some very good sounding tubes that have glass shoulders that do not allow it to fit in the Cary SLP-98.  
Pass Labs 1st Watt Rundown
I have both the Pass XA25 and the First Watt SIT-3. They are both good amps in very different ways. The Pass is clear/liquid and transparent, the SIT-3 is very good with tone and texture. I think the Pass pairs better with conventional speakers an... 
Affordable SS that sound like Tubes
